They agree that the moment they ceass
work for the company thsy szust leave
the house; they agree that the company
may at any time on ten days notice, evict
them and their families, and each has to
sign an aamicable suit in ejeetmeht" BY
which they formally admit that they are
Illegally occupying the premises. On one
Of these documents writ can be issued
without trial and the tenant and his
goods thrown out at the companies pleas
ure.
Acting on these leases the company
eight days after the strike served notice
on nineteen families to get out, and on
Saturday last brought the deputy sheriff
and force Of coal and iron police to en-
force the notices. Six families were driven
from their miserable dens and all they had
in the world thrown out after them. Not
one OF these were possessed Of a single
dollar to help him in his need, and his
neighbors were as poor.
One woman, Mrs. Dunlavy, who had
never left her house for two years on &C
count Of sickness, was ordered out, She
refused to CO. when the company's hire
lings threw out every stick of furniture,
drove out the family and left her alone in
the empty house. For three days the
household goods Jay as they were thrown
out, and several of the evicted families
passed both day and night in th open air,
and had it not been for the assistance of
the charitable would have been without
food. They had nothing wherewith to
to move their goods, nowhere to take
them, and could not even bring wagon
on the ground without the consent of the
company, which they knew full well would
be refused. Other evictions were an
nounced for Monday next, but in the
face of the indignant popular voice it is
not thought that they will be attempted.
J.s. wentz & Co. are now attempting
to operate the mine with Hungarian labor.
About fifty of these people have been
brought on the ground. They were given
houses to live in, armed with revolvers
and put to work in the mine. When the
men struck they left large quantity of
coal ready cut in the mine, and the time
OF the Hungarians who are now taking
out this coal is being charged to the
strikers.
The strikers, it is said, have ample legal
remedy which is to be at once resorted to.
Under the law the company can DE
made to disgorge the amounts stopped
out of wages and can also be subjected to
penalties for violation of the statute.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Their Decision in Relation to the Death of
John Mcclure.

The railroad commissioners of Vermont
have rendered the following decision in
the matter of the accident on the Mont
pelier and Wells River railroad, near
Summit station, July 81, 1887, resulting in
the death of John f. Mcclure: John E..
Mcclure of Montpelier, fireman on an ex-
ira freight train from Montpelier to Sum-
NIT station, the height of grade on the
Montpelier and Wells River railroad, sus-
tanned injuries July 2lst last, from which
he died two days following. He went out
on the side of the engine to the pilot and
jumped down upon the track in front of
1t to go and turn switch. Stepping upon
a new cross-tie he slipped and fell be-
tween the rails, and before he could re.
cover himself the pilot of the engine
caught his foot, and he was crushed I'M
der the machine. His left arm was badly
lacerated and he received scalp wound
and severe internal Injuries which caused
his death
1t appears from the evidence taken in
this case and the statement of the young
man himself, just after the accident, that
the engine was moving slowly and ran but
a few feet after the pilot caught him, and
that the accident was the result of his
own lack of proper caution. Had he left
the engine in the usual way and gone
along the side of the track, the accident
doubtless would not have happened. He
was only a little past 16 years of age.
The board notes that in three accidents
which it has been required to investigate
and report, a youthful person has been re
sponsible for the same, either by reason of
negligence or want of proper exercise of
caution. While our youth are to be com
mended for aspiring to occupy positions of
trust, it would seem that in railroad ser
vice, especially the safety of the travelling
public, as well as that of the railroad EN-
ployes themselves, demand that there
should not be intrusted to them duties of
danger and responsibility exceeding the
measure of their years.

UNION LABOR PARTY.


In the union labor convention at Roch-
ester, n. Y, last week, the committee on
resolutions recommended the adoption of
the Cincinnati platform, except the planks
referring to the tariff and to pauper i'm
migration. The following tariff plank
was adopted:
RcsOlued. That we, as a body of men repre-
sentng the workingmen of the State of New
York. condemn the efforts made during the
last Congress to reduce the tariff on articles
made and manufactured IN this country; we
demand, in The interests of our manufacture
ers and artisans, that protective tariff b.
maintained by Congress for the further al
yancemcnt of our interests.
A resolution referring to pauper i'm
migration was also adopted, as follows
| Whereas, The constant tide of immigration
| to this country threatens to result injuriously
To the social condition of the nation and in
| t4rfere with the opportunities of our present
population of skilled and unskilled laborers

Kcsolre /, That we demand of the govern
ment more stringent enforcement OF exist

the Importation of contract labor; and fur
thcr, that it is the duty of Congress to enac
other protective laws by the imposition OF al
increased tax or other means of stopping the
tide of immigration and the hooding Of thu
country with foreign, laborers.
| ReSOlUed, That all discrimination by EN-
ployers against lawful associations of EN-
poses to secure their rights violates the con
stitutional rights of the citizen and should U

A committee was appointed to wal

THE OLD ACADEMIES.
The Need of Better Endowments for these
Institutions.
By the Board,
3. WATSON, Clerk
[Rutland Herald.1

Rutland ii erald.1
One of the saddest facts in our Vermont
history Is that most of the old academies
are going to decay. Few of them were
endowed, and the high schools, supported
at public expense, have killed them.
Castleton seminary, whose centennial
was celebrated with great eclat yesterday,
has been converted into State Normal
school otherwise it would have gone the
way of many other intermediate schools
that were noted and fourishing genera
ton ago.
1t WAS The writer's melancholy pleasure
toattend, two weeks ago to-day, the dedi-
cation of the monument to the late DR.. j.
>. Spauiding, who for l. years was princi-
pal of Bakers field academy and for 20
years of Barre academy and the most
noted teacher in Vermont. His schools
were not endowed and they died with
him. Barre academy is now leased to the
Catholics as temporary place of worship.
The contemplation of its fate was mex
pressibiy sad to the old students who
gathered to commemorate their beloved
teacher. The scene at the dedication of
the monument was almost funereal
Not so was the observance at Castleton
yesterday The old home is still warmed
and lighted ard the widely scattered chill
dren gathered to rejoice. But their jubi-
lee was shaded with the certainty of the
ultimate extinction of their alma mater
unless State patronage or private endow-
ments keep it alive. They have wept and
they have rejoiced. 1t is now time to act.
The people of Vermont cannot make
greater mistake than to give up their non
sectaran academies. They are less cXpen-
sive than high schools and they train more
self-reliant men and women. They are
better than any private school, because
they have greater facilities and bring into
the discipline of contact larger number
of young people. But the day is past for
them to subsist on expectations. Private
benevolence should make them staple,
strong and full of facilities. Then they
will inspire new zeal like the old and
once more NermOnt-a nursery for other
States-will take her rightful place among
the confident, self-possessed and active
powers that move the world.

Inc 10 tne
school Children.
WATERBURY,, Vt, Aug 8, 1887.
For the past three years the Sunday
schools of the State have made "thank-
offerings for the Bible" and found a great
deal of pleasure in SO doing. These gifts
have furnished a great many copies of
the "Old, Old Story" to those who had 1t
not. This year we want to do more than
ever before. The American Bible society
asks u, again to give 800 for Bible work
In Bohemia under the care of its agent
there, Rev. A. w. Clark, a native of Ver-
mont. Last year our gift furnished more
than 800 Bibles and Testaments to poor
people in that country, many of whom
were children.
We are also asked to give 800 to be
used in furnishing Bibles to the poor peo-
pie, especially the colored, of Louisiana.
We are making frequent use of the
childrens money in special work in the
State. Last spring all the inmates of the
Reform school were furnished with Bibles
at an expense Of SIS. A very happy com
pany of boys and girls was at that place
the Sunday those Bibles were distributed,
and they felt, If they did not send, a great
many thanks to all who helped them in
getting their books.
The Soldiers Home at Bennington is
soon to be furnished with Bibles bought
with the children's money. Now, | am
sure that every child who has ever given
money as "thank- offering for the Bible, {"
will want to do so on the next bible Sun
day." and many others, who have not
done so, will this year want to know some
thing of the pleasure of giving.
Try and earn the money you give-as
many pennies as you are years old-and
write me little letters telling me how it
was earned. Carry or send your money
and letters to the Sunday school on the
first Sunday of September, or when your
superintendent thinks best and they will
be sent TO me. Follow those gifts with
your earnest prayers for Gods blessing
upon them.
1t is hoped that the older members of
the schools, as in previous years, will
think themselves young and make their
offering for the same object.
Let us all do more than ever before to
lead men to a knowledge of the Saviour
through his written word
